14 HOMEMADE WEDDING DECORATION IDEAS

15.6.16

It's the Wedding season and nothing says 'love' like a bit of homemade craft.

Create the wedding of your dreams with these simple and special handmade decoration ideas for your big day.

1. DOILY BUNTING

Why not collect old doilies or pick some up from your local charity shop and sew a quick and simple handmade crocheted bunting. If you want them in other colours simply dye the doilies whatever colour to fit your theme. A lovely way to recycle those vintage treasures.

Save some jars, wine and beer bottles and accessorise with sting and lace to make the cutest centre table arrangement and complete with your favourite flowers. You can always use wood cuttings to write table numbers on or use as a tray arrangement.

Recycle old books, newspaper, coloured paper or tissue paper to make your own confetti.

A simple cutter in your favourite shade will give your guest the cutest confetti they've ever seen. Make paper or doilies to make cones and fill with confetti and arrangement them in a basket for when you guests walk out of the church, ready to shower you in cute handmade confetti!

Nothing more simple (and cost effective) that a large piece of card cut in the shape of a polaroid and some fancy handwriting to create your own handmade photo booth! Fill a basket with fancy dress and props and guests can take photographs enjoying your big day. Create a Hashtag like '#MrandMrsGant2016' so you can find all the hilarious pictures on social media to look back on, save and print!

A good idea for those retro ceiling lanterns everyone used to have is to use them as ceiling decorations at your reception, you can even cut paper butterflies and collect fake flowers and stick them on the lanterns to create unique and beautiful ceiling decorations for your venue.

Recycling your child's old hoola-hoop and spray paint in a colour of your wedding theme. Use ribbon, greenery and flowers to display photos of the bride and groom to be and a lovely photo wall decoration for you guests to enjoy.

My friend who also was maid of honor stumbled upon this place, a hidden gem, and we popped over right away to see if it had possibilities. On first look and we knew it was perfect. The view from Chicago wedding venues is to die for, and provided a breathtaking backdrop to the ceremony and then dinner.

I was so told that there is this beautiful shop which not only have best flowers but also great owner. The price of BloomThat Flower Delivery was perfect too! If you are looking for the best flowers, this is definitely the only place you want to go to.

"Putting Rutland back on the map."
- The Rutland Blogger
Hi! I'm Charlie - AKA The Rutland Blogger - and I live in Uppingham with my long-term boyfriend and our two Pugs, Arla & Otis. I've been in the Blogging world for 4 years, when I fell in love with the blogosphere after I started my Blog www.styledbycharlie.com in April 2014.
In February 2017 with my current two blogs in hand, I felt that I wanted my roots to be more involved with my passion for blogging and to celebrate the rural area and local businesses and to bring my love for Blogging home.
'The Rutland Blogger' was born!
I want this blog to be a place where locals can turn to for restaurant reviews, introducing the readers to local independent businesses and shops they might not yet have heard of, or where they can find out 'What's On' locally in Rutland and as well as being somewhere county visitors can come for ideas of 'What to Do' while in gorgeous Rutland!
